We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?

The power of the harasser, the abuser, the rapist depends above all on the silence of women.

You can't crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.

We scarcely know how much of our pleasure and interest in life comes to us through our eyes until we have to do without them; and part of that pleasure is that the eyes can choose where to look. But the ears can't choose where to listen.

I always wondered why the makers leave housekeeping and cooking out of their tales. Isn't it what all the great wars and battles are fought for -- so that at day's end a family may eat together in a peaceful house?
